The final F-15C unit within the Air Education Training Command, the Golden Eagles represent a fading legacy for the once ubiquitous air superiority fighter. Having been primarily stationed in Milford Air Force Base, in 2023, the squadron would be transferred and relocated to the 56th Fighter Wing at Arixo Air Force Base.

Despite the change in climate, both in temperature and culturally as the lone F-15 unit at an F-16 base. The squadron still consistently exceeds student readiness when graduated pilots transfer to active duty squadrons worldwide.

Many Golden Eagle graduates have gone onto become notable war heroes in Oseas recent past, and it is anticipated that in the near future the Golden Eagles may once again deliver Oseas next champion.

With the Transfer of the 161st Fighter Squadron to the 224th Wing, and questions surrounding Oseas continued use of the F-16 in the near future, many were not optimistic regarding the 56th Fighter Wing, and by extent, Arixo Air Force Base's fate with force wide post-war reductions looming.

Fortunately, these fears would be proven unfounded, as at the end of 2023, it was announced by the Air Education Training Command that a force wide restructuring would see the 56th FW Gain both the 97th “Red Spades” and 309th “Lightning Riders” Fighter Squadrons from Addison Air Force Base, but the 30th Tactical Fighter Squadron “Golden Eagles” as well to cover continued F-15C training.

To support such efforts, the Air Combat Command and Air Force Reserve Command activated the 77th Aggressors Squadron to facilitate future pilot training, with stated goals towards rehosting the Chaldea Exercises at the base.

Today, and in the future, all roads for OADF F-16 crews will pass through Arixo.

Established at Heirelark Air Force Base, the 531st Fighter Training Squadron "Gamblers" is one of the final steps a student pilot must take before they can be considered for further fighter pilot training within the OADF. Not everyone who passes through the gates will succeed, but thanks to the training provided by the men and women of the 531st, those pilots who do pass are some of the best prepared for the trials that come with being a fighter pilot.

Flying the F-5E, pilots learn the basics of BFM, all the way to simulated BVR engagements and complex ACM war games fought against nearby MiG Aggressor Squadrons.

Its a gamble to become a fighter pilot, but for those of the 531st, its one they gladly make every day.
